Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire - a photo on Flickriver

            Looking west down the nave through the wrought iron cancel arch 
Holy Trinity Church in Kilwardby Street, Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire, was built between 1838 and 1840 at the instigation of the Marquess of Hastings, as a chapel of ease to the mother church of St Helen, mainly because the population of the town had doubled between 1801 and 1830.  The architect was Henry Stevens of Derby.   
It consists of a very wide nave under a single span of roof, with chancel and west tower. The presence of a gallery supported on decorative cast iron columns and brackets,  on three sides provided extra seating.  
Original box pews in the nave were replaced by bench pews in 1885-6, although those in the gallery remain in place.
